This is My Life…

…in a 6 x 7 x 8 ft. box.

OK, that may be a little bit of an exaggeration but most of it is in there I’m pretty sure. I can’t open the other door of the pod because it has a TV nestled so securely that any disturbance would end my delicate Jenga balance. Sorry [...]

Artist of the Day: Mike Farrell; PoiSpinner.com

Last weekend I went to my friend Bob’s (from the band Cahill) bachelor party, which was organized by Mike Farrell, a friend who I don’t get the chance to see too often. In fact, the last time I saw him was the night Obama got elected, a momentous occasion, but much has happened since then. I filled [...]

Moving Update (Countdown: 13 Days)

I’m back from my friend Bob’s bachelor party, an event which I have some reflections that I hope to make in the next couple of days. First, however, a moving update. Last week we found someone to sublet our apartment, which was the thing that was most unnerving about the move because it is off-season [...]

Away for the Weekend…

…See you Sunday

Observations on Media

One of the best changes I’ve made in my life over the last couple of years was to cancel my cable subscription when I moved in with Marie. The few shows I do watch consistently (The Daily Show, The Colbert Report, 30 Rock, Mad Men, The Office, etc.) are easily found online and usually are [...]

Athlete of the Day: Mike Lowell

I got word this morning that it is very likely that my favorite Red Sox player, Mike Lowell, will be traded to the Texas Rangers. I understand that it is a move that will more than likely make the Sox better, which I can appreciate, but baseball players that I become attached to are one [...]

Where is this thing going?

I’ve been fairly noncommittal when I decided to start up this blog again as to what exactly the content will be. Frankly, I don’t have as much to say about my musical career at this current moment because many current events have superseded that. I’m preparing to move, so I’m distracted with that situation. I [...]

How can you not be hopeful about the future...

…When things like this exist? I just watched this video on Ted.com about a Harvard PhD student and Sixth Sense technology. I had started watching it on Thanksgiving, but got distracted and was reminded of it when a friend posted it on Facebook. Check it out here.

Eeeew Gross!

Daniel Powter’s “Bad Day” has been named One Hit Wonder song of the decade by Billboard. I just figured everyone should know.

Website/Podcast of the Day: Planet Money

Because of a recommendation on Thanksgiving, I’ve started checking out NPR’s Planet Money. I treasure all things NPR to begin with and Planet Money is no exception. I first heard a co-production they did with This American Life on the financial collapse and thought it was very well done. I’m now subscribed to their podcast [...]
